Although other solvents are available, dichloromethane (CH₂Cl₂) is still often used to "decaffeinate" drinks because the solubility of caffeine in CH₂Cl₂ is 8.35 times that in water.
(c) Which approach extracts more caffeine?

Respuesta :

The Espresso method extracted almost twice the amount of caffeine compared to Stovetop espresso, approximately 47% more caffeine than Cold Brew, and more than 80% more caffeine than French Press and Pour Over methods.

What is Decaffeination ?

Decaffeination is the removal of caffeine from coffee beans, cocoa, tea leaves, and other caffeine-containing materials. Decaffeinated drinks contain typically 1–2% of the original caffeine content, and sometimes as much as 20%. Decaffeinated products are commonly termed decaf.

Dichloromethane (DCM or methylene chloride, methylene bichloride) is an organochlorine compound with the formula CH2Cl2. This colorless, volatile liquid with a chloroform-like, sweet odour is widely used as a solvent. Although it is not miscible with water, it is polar, and miscible with many organic solvents.
